Our theme this month is the 2021 January--June Mini Catalog. I'm sharing a trio of cards created with the Hey Girlfriend stamp set.

This evening I am sharing a Thank You card using the Daffodil Afternoon 12' x 12' pretty paper! This paper will be available as a FREE Sale-A-Bration item in Jan

Yesterday I showed you this card, made using the new, soon-to-be-released Sand & Sea Suite of products. I had such fun creating that one that I had to try another. Completely different from yesterday's card, but using many of the same products. This time I started by cutting the large die (Seaside Seashells) using Whisper White cardstock. This is what it looks like: Doesn't really look all that exciting, but just wait... Next you have the stamps from Friends are Like Seashells. Using the Stamparatus, it's easy to stamp the images over the outlines of the dies: And finally the embossing folder - the die aligns with the raised portions of the Seashells folder, so you get textured shells (see the image above). You'll see I also added a little color to the sea grass by lightly sponging on Soft Sea Foam ink. So for today's card, I started with the Whisper White die-cut, and then stamped my shells using Highland Heather, Flirty Flamingo, Seaside Spray, Crumb Cake and Mint Macaron: And after running it through the embossing folder, I took a piece of Vellum cardstock and embossed it too. Then I lined them up and adhered them using some Glue Dots (below the strip on the front of the card). This was then added to my Night of Navy card base, allowing the shells to "pop". The greeting was heat embossed, and the sand dollar and clam shells stamped and cut with the coordinating dies. A Pearl was added to the clam (oyster?) and two more embellish the side. No doubt I'll have lots more samples to show you, as I can't seem to stop playing with this suite! Sand & Sea will be available to customers starting January 5th. If you just can't wait, demonstrators can order this as part of their Starter Kit, where you get $125 worth of products for just $99, plus FREE shipping! Click here for more details.

Hello, Today I am joining the Bruno and Kylie Bertucci"s Demonstrator Support Program Blog Hop. Thank you for taking the time to stop by today. I love making cards for Blog Hops, the theme of this Hop is to create a Thank you cards for my beautiful Customers. I will be posting them off, on the last day of the months to all the customers that order from me.

I’m sharing a few projects created by some of my very talented Stampin’ Up! team members with you all today.

OK, I'm about ready to put away my Sand & Sea Suite for a day or two (or maybe for an hour or two). But I have one more very simple card for you using these products. After prepping for the video I shared yesterday, I had a bunch of shells sitting on my desk. And what do we do when we have pieces all over the desk? We create! So... I took a piece of Rococco Rose cardstock and ran it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with the Seashells embossing folder. I added some Snowflake Splendor ribbon (it's amazing that this iridescent ribbon, which usually pairs well with Pool Party picked up the rose color and looks gorgeous on pink!) and then adhered it to the Blushing Bride card base. These shells from Friends are like Seashells are stamped on Whisper White and cut out with the coordinating Seaside Seashells dies, then embossed with the Seashells folder. And check out the Opal Rounds that look like natural pearls! This card could be used for all kinds of occasions - just change out the greeting! The Sand & Sea Suite will be available for purchase on January 5th. You'll want the entire suite! Need a new Stampin' UP! January - June 2021 Mini Catalog?

Welcome to the Around the World on Wednesday Design Team's November Blog Hop. The Around the World on Wednesday has been created by my lovely friend Angie McKenzie and comprises a group of super talented demonstrators from around the world. The Around the World Hop goes live on the second Wednesday of each month. Our theme this month is The Market - All About Texture! It is a broad theme with a specific focus on Texture! I've chosen to use the new Enjoy the Moment Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!, it is a new stamp set due out in the new Mini Catalogue in January. The seed pods, leaves and seeds immediately made me think of the markets where you can buy an array of different items including dried flowers and seeds. These images are so real I can imagine the feel and texture of them, but to add some extra texture, I ran the stamped panel through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. Despite dried "things" usually being brown, I decided these images looked great in any colour! And of course, I added my trademark accessories, some Gold Metallic Pearls, Linen Thread and a sentiment white embossed on Basic Black Cardstock! I have made a video making this card on my YouTube Channel, you can see it here. Next up on our Hop is Tatiana, I can't wait to see what she has created! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop.

Hello friends! I am super happy today because it's Wednesday, which means I'll be "seeing" you a little later for my live tutorial! Today's card is the one I shared live last

Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Card making

Hello stampers and happy Friday to you. Today I am some super cute Awesome Otters cards for you. Awesome Otters? Where did you find them? Let me tell you. Where Did These Awesome Otters Come From?? One of the perks of being a Stampin'Up! demonstrator (or discount shopper) is getting my hands on products early. Stampin'UP! also offers awesome events virtually and in person when circumstances allow. When you attend these events you can get certain products even earlier. There are LOTS of perks for getting the starter kit. Did you know that YOU could get in on

I have had so much fun creating these cards with the new Hey Girlfriend stamp set for the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop. There is a group of talented bloggers highlighting some of the new products being offered in the new Mini Catalog January-June 2021 and the Sale-a-bration Catalogs for this month's Stampin' Dreams Hop. You will be able to access all of the new ideas and sneak peaks of new products from the blog participants with the In-Links button at the bottom of my post. This will take you to all the blogs participating in this month's Hop. This Hey Girlfriend set caught my eye as soon as I saw it and it went straight to the top of my list of must haves. This stamp will be available to everyone on January 5, 2021 and is on page 50 of the new Mini Catalog January-June 2021. This first card uses some of the new IceCream Corner DSP - this is one of my favorite new pack of Designer Series Papers - I will be highlighting that in an upcoming post! But I paired it with a Sale -a Bration paper that you will see in all three of these cards, it is called Oh So Ombre DSP. This paper is a set of 6" x 6" doubles sided designed ombre papers that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase. I also used some new Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon, a Heart Charm, and some Pastel Pearls. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 This card uses the same Oh So Ombre DSP, I even used the paper for her dress! The sentiment and die frame is from the new Simply Succulents Bundle. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 and finally, a card with all three girls! I colored all the girls with my Stampin' Blends. I hope you enjoyed my cards!! I have mailed out my catalogs to my customers, if you need a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator - I would be happy to help you. Just email me or leave me a comment and I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. Sale-a-bration will run a little differently this year - This first session will run from Jan. 5th thru Feb 28th. 2021. There are many offerings for free stamp sets and papers for each $50 and each $100 purchase you make!! But as always these are while supplies last. (the cute ones always run out) Stampin' Up! will not be adding any additional items to this sale as it goes on- instead they will be offering a second Sale-a-bration sale from July to August 2021. Again, if you have any questions, please ask! 💜💜💜💜💜💜 There are so many cute items in the new catalog - I hope you click on the InLinkz button and you will be taken to the party with all the other Hop participants showing off what they made from the new products as well. You are invited to the Inlinkz link party! Click here to enter

Ok, who wants to see a sneak peek of new products coming in the January - June 2021 Mini Catalog? ✋ After attending a virtual 3-day program introducing the new Mini and upcoming Sale-a-Bration brochure, I was fortunate to be able to pre-order some of the products. And the first bundle I chose was the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle, including the Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and the Brilliant Rainbow dies. My mom, who passed away in July, loved rainbows, so this set has special significance for me. There are 14 stamps in the set , and 10 dies, and you can create all kinds of rainbows - big, small, and in-between. So what did I make first? A fun set of mini cards! I love to include a mini, 3" x 3" card when I sell retired products. So I'm always making these, and I love how these turned out. Using one of the dies, I cut four colors - Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Gorgeous Grape, giving me 4 sizes of each color. I merely combined them for the cards. The Stitched Shapes die is retired (but will never leave my stash!) and it's the perfect size for this little rainbow. I stamped the greeting along the bottom in a color matching the largest arc of the rainbow and also made that the card base. Then I just popped up one of the little clouds, included in the dies. Cute? YES! But then I started playing a little more... This time I stamped the rainbow and stretched out the photopolymer greeting (yes, you can alter the shape of these pliable stamps), then used a piece of the FREE Sale-a-Bration coordinating Sunshine & Rainbows patterned paper to mount it on. And then: This time I cut the rainbow with the largest die and some Rainbow Glimmer paper (how fitting is that?) and mounted it to a watercolored piece of Basic White. And look at that cute border: Mini rainbows! LOVE! Can't wait to get your hands on some of the new products? Well today is your lucky day! For just 3 more days you can join Stampin' UP! for the ridiculously low price of just $75 and get $125 worth of product and FREE shipping!

What Will you Stamp Challenge number 205. I hope that you like what I can come up with for these awesome challenges. I hope more of you join in with these great stampset challenges as they are fun! This was the first of all the saleabration sets that really appealed to me and it was most definitely the first one that I earned. I did something a little different rather than use the whole image I thought that I would use parts of it to frame the card. The top flower was fussy cut out and mounted on dimensionals in the corner but the bottom left hand corner I cut around the leaves and flower to slip the sentiment panel behind it. What do you think? I have heaps of birthdays coming up... I wonder who this one will go to??? Don't you just love the new rectangle stitched framelits? Well I do and they have just arrived in my hot little hands... I can not wait to play with them more! Stamps: Lovely Lattice and sentiment from Perennial Birthdays Ink: Memento Black and Rich Razzleberry Card: Whisper White & Basic Black Tools: Rectangle Stitched Framelits with the bigshot and Light and Dark Stampin' Blends in Mango Melody, Rich Razzleberry, Mossy Meadow, Highland Heather and Balmy Blue.
